Emile Pinet Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Opting To Forget

We don't tend
       to remember
           that our
              words carry weight;
                 opting to forget
                 just how much
                  damage
                   we can do,
                   to a
                 fledgling heart
               hesitant
            to take wing and fly;
          weighed down by the leaden
        words
anger, chose to fling.
